In this ongoing class, learners will explore some of the most famous battles of all time and learn the historical context of the how and why behind these famous conflicts. History is nothing but stories that are retold and we will delve into some of the famous battles that ever happened in world history.  Topics are student driven so the next two to three months of courses were chosen and selected by students attending the class.  Classes do not repeat or loop but grow based on student demand.  

Current Unit: The Winter War of 1939
Nov 3 - 9:  Winter War Part 1 Background
No 10 - 16 : Winter War Part 2 The War Begins
Nov 17 - 23: Winter War Part 3 How the War Ends

The next unit will be determined via student choice and the votes of enrolled students so stay tuned. 

Past lessons.  These lessons will definitely come up again and I always try to add new content when teaching materials we have covered before so that students that have been enrolled for some time still come away learning more the second time around.

Parental Guidance
This class will not have graphic descriptions of violence, but rather will cover the reasons behind these conflicts and generally how these battles play out. I'll cover these issues with a global perspective and in a way that will be informative and equitable. The class will be suitable for any students in grade 5 and above and covered with care. Thank you and feel free to email if you have any questions or concerns.
